Checking Your Coolant Level
The coolant, like oil, is something your engine cannot go without and will cause damage and cause a car engine problem. Every engine is different but if you check your handbook you should find where the coolant reservoir is.
It will normally be bolted to one side of the engine bay or the other, and be a white semi-transparent bottle. Wait until your engine is cool and take a look at it – the outside should have ‘low’ and ‘high’ markings on it and the level of coolant inside should be between the two.
Usually the coolant level should be low when the engine is cold and high when the engine is hot.
Do not take the radiator cap off to check coolant levels.
If the coolant system is still hot then it is still under pressure and the pressure release may burn you.
If you follow this tip then this is likely to help your hip pocket come car service time.
